We had very nice accommodations at the Nehemiah Project in Cleveland. The food was good in both quantity and quality. We slept in dorm style rooms which worked out nicely. A host family with 3 little children saw us off in the morning. The kids especially liked collecting the cards of each of the riders. It was interesting riding through the streets of Cleveland. I had a quick flat after hitting a small piece of concrete on a bridge. My friends helped out and we were soon back on the road. We arrived about 4 to 5 p.m. at the Federated Church in E. Springfield. We asked what made it federated and were told that two congregations joined together about 70 years ago after the church building of one of the congregations burned down. The church put on a nice dinner for us and then we were taken to our host homes.
